A co-worker told me yesterday that I was too mean. That’s why I don’t “have a man.” Several others agreed with her. Apparently I’m one of those “people just aren’t sure how to take you” kinda chicks? Meh. Maybe. I think it’s more likely that things like this are the issue. K-Rob thought threatening to … Continue reading Pride Issues

North Mountain Anniversary
I'm not real big on anniversaries. Probably because I never really have any. But this year is different. This year Rogue and I both celebrated our one year anniversary with North Mountain. *sigh* I haven't maintained a man in my life in the last 20 years for as long as I've kept this damn mountain. … Continue reading North Mountain Anniversary
The Snakes Own North Mountain
So there I was in the workroom. Feeling ok about myself. And one of my co-workers comes in and says she knows my trainer. My what? Do you mean J-Vicious? Oh,no. He's the one at PlayFITStayFIT. I don't mean him. Honestly, my brain didn't actually immediately go to fitness, anyway. When she said that no, … Continue reading The Snakes Own North Mountain
Hammer & Forge Strength Intervals
So GJB and I spent the day yesterday trying to peer pressure Rogue into just walking out of her work meeting and going running with us. She wasn't learning anything in there, anyway. And Endong that his child is old enough to manage back to school night on his own. I mean, by the time … Continue reading Hammer & Forge Strength Intervals
North Mountain. Again.
Freakin North Mountain. Again. This is my last full week before I officially go fulltime at the high school. So, I'm trying to balance some fun adventure with the last major push in hours at my non-profit job. Today Rogue said she wanted to get some adventuring in. We didn't really specify what that adventuring … Continue reading North Mountain. Again.
Dude. Just Be Nice.
I'm a pretty easy person to get along with. Sure, I may get a little pouty when I feel left out. But for the most part, I just want people to be happy and enjoy life. I mean, mostly I want me to be happy. But I like that for other people, too. So, if … Continue reading Dude. Just Be Nice.
Elevator Shaft Run. On Fire.
I just woke up from a nap coma. I don't know if y'all noticed. But the earth is on fire. It is on actual fire. All of it. I like to think it is the weight of the atmospheric fire that is making movement feel impossible. And undesirable. That and the decision to run stupid … Continue reading Elevator Shaft Run. On Fire.
Hanging Rock Training
A few years ago, someone was peer pressuring me into signing up for Pilot Mountain to Hanging Rock Ultra. So I did. This year. Sometimes my peer pressure response is a little delayed. And since I am in no way physically or emotionally prepared for a mountain ultra right now, some training seemed like a … Continue reading Hanging Rock Training
Forget CRL
I can't currently feel my legs. It's sad, really. Because I had such a nice rest day yesterday. It was beautiful. While it lasted. It ended pretty abruptly at 5:02pm today. That's when I drew my first card to determine my first exercise for HIIT Poker. At PlayFITStayFIT, it's never just a boring, straightforward workout. … Continue reading Forget CRL
How My Weekend Fell Apart
I'm sitting here in a gas station parking lot where I just downed two hot dogs and a bag of Fritos. And a Vitamin Water. Because balance. I'm not proud of this. But I think it's important to illustrate just how far off the rails my body has gone. Let's take a look at how … Continue reading How My Weekend Fell Apart
